It’s still January, but baseball will be back before you know it with the start of MLB’s spring training less than a month away. Those who have already had enough of winter can focus on the fact that all 30 teams will soon be reporting to facilities in Florida and Arizona in preparation for the 2017 season, which begins April 2.

Super Bowl 50 is in the record books, which means it’s time for football to step aside and cede the stage to America’s pastime. While the 2016 MLB regular season doesn’t get started until April 3, baseball will soon be returning to diamonds in Florida and Arizona for spring training.

It’s February and while the groundhog may have seen his shadow, one of the best indicators that winter is coming to an end and that is baseball is just around the corner. To that end, spring training will commence in full in Florida and Arizona in less than two weeks with MLB's official Opening Day slated for March 31.
